First Glimpse at a project: Dormant for 38 Years!

This rifle is nearing completion. It is the culmination and fulfillment of nearly 4 decades of hard and exacting work and waiting - we call it "The Queen Anne" after the period in English History reflecting the esthetic of the early 1700's.

This rifle will enthrall all who lay eyes upon it! Featuring a Jud forged and rifled Damascus barrel, a hand made water proof lock, gold touch hole liner, patent breech and hand chiseled steel finials and details on side plate, buttplate, cock and trigger guard, this is a tour de force in the tradition of the finest English workmanship.

A few preliminary photos follow.
